1. INTRODUCTION

PRECISION SIDE-STAPLING

1. INTRODUCTION

Fastbind precision side-staple binding machines take a simple concept,

electronic stapling, and turn it into one of the most economical and versatile

book binding solutions on the market. Ideally suited for photo book binding,

they can also be used for company reports, handouts, catalogues, yearbooks,

and much more. The bound books can be easily completed with a variety of

cover options, including printed hard or soft covers, pre-made covers, and

simple strip backs.

Their unique side-stapling method ensures precise, consistent placement of

staples along the spine of your paper block. Built-in shelves at the back of

the unit can be used to keep your supplies ready at hand. With the steady

positioning surface and adjustable back support, a typical A4 paper block

can be bound in less than 10 seconds.

Fastbind precision side-staple binding machines produce extremely strong

bindings quickly and easily. They require no adjustments when changing

format or thickness. Using flat clinch staples, the powerful electric stapling

head binds a wide range of formats. You can bind books with photo paper

and coated stock as easily as normal copy paper. The result is always a

strong, square and clean bind.

HOW TO HANDLE STAPLE CASSETTES

We recommend to store your cassettes in their original

packages.

Handle the stapling head gently; do not remove the

pre-bent staple. This could cause permanent damage to

the cassette.

Before transportation, remove the cassette from the

machine and store it separately.

7. GOOD TO KNOW

Working light:

The working light illuminates the stapling area. When

the machine is ready to use, the working light is on. The

machine is not ready if:

- the power is off

- the safety cover is not placed properly

- the cassette is not placed properly

- the cassette is empty

The working light also switches off when the cassette is

nearly empty. In this case, even though the working light

is off, you can use the remaining staples from the cassette

normally.
